Vol 2 Chapter 16 (2/2)

“I even played the guitar until I was euphoric.”

“You can play the guitar!? I want to hear it! Ah, let me get a guitar from the music room! Is it the Acoustic? Or the Electric? There’s every kind of guitars in the music room!!”

“W-well, let’s talk about me later. For now, the most important thing is about you.”

“Y-yeah, you’re right.”

She bobbed her head up and down.

“Then, let’s start already!”

“Understood.”

Facing Aika who looked like an excited puppy who was about to be taken for a walk, I——

“First, make a bridge with your arms folded. Also keep mumbling to yourself ‘Flash,Flash~!’”

“Understood!”

Aika immediately put the back of her head on the floor as she raised her hips to make the shape of a bridge.

“Can you fold your arms?”

“Leave it to me!——Ha!”

In the blink of an eye, she had folded her arms and and still kept her posture intact. She seems to be quite agile, doesn’t she.

“This is that, right?? The posture to train one’s thinking abilities!?”

“You’re becoming smarter.——Oh, it’s already having an effect on you!”

“I-is that so!? Ok, here goes! Flash, Flash~!”

She excitedly exclaimed ‘Flash’ repeatedly.

“——!? Something flashed!!”

“Seriously?”

“If I store all my textbooks in my desk, I don’t need to pack up according to the schedule everyday!”

“Indeed.”

“W-what’s next!?”

“Ok, it’s the real deal now.”

“Huh!? It wasn’t that just now!?”

“It was nothing but a warm up just now.——But Aika, you just realised the school life-changing procedure of ‘leaving your books in school without bringing it back’ right?

! Y-yes! I realized it!”

“You are very talented, Aika.”

“R……Really?”

She looked very happy.

“Your talent can surpa.s.s my own.”

“I-is that so?…..Well, it’s obvious for me to be better than you. In the first place, your statement of me surpa.s.sing you is too shameless, but I won’t point it out! Hehehe!”

“——Anyway, let’s get real now.”

“Yeah! Bring it on!”

“Next is…go to a park full of kindergarteners and pa.s.s by them once. Then, return to them at once and ask them ‘Didn’t I just pa.s.s by here!?’ and then say ‘You idiots! That guy was Lupin! Chase after him!’. After that, leave that place instantly.” (TLN: According to manga, it’s a Lupin the Third anime joke. He is considered the world’s greatest thief.)

“……Why do I have to do that?”

Aika asked me a fundamental question.

“Why, you ask?——Because this is the Son Ken Seminar.”

I said that meaningless line with a pretentious face.

“……!”

Aika held her breath.

“How……How profound.”

“After doing these, you will be a step closer to become a riajuu as depicted in the manga. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

“I am!”

“Then go!”

“Yeah! I’m going now!”

Aika ran out of the room.

While I silently followed behind.

Aika who just came out from the dormitory walked with an energetic aura around her.

Nearby the dormitory, after crossing two streets, was a playground frequented by kindergarteners.

As usual, the playground was filled with little girls playing with the swings and slides. Their innocent smiles and laughter was no different from a commoner’s.

Suddenly, an Onee-san in high school(Aika) entered the playground.。

The children who were playing sensed her weird aura and looked at her with doubtful eyes.

Aika walked straight through the playground and disappeared behind the shadow of a building nearby.

And immediately returned to the playground.

She jogged lightly towards the children who were playing in the sandbox.

“Didn’t I just pa.s.s by here!?”

“““……………”””

The little girls stared blankly at her.

Aika immediately blushed while saying:

“You idiots! That guy was Lupin! Chase after him!”

Pointing at the entrance of the playground, she rushed through it herself.

The children who were playing stared at the leaving Onee-san confusingly.

“Ah, Kimito!”

Aika who was running spotted me who was standing nearby.

Her ears were as red as an apple.

“Did you see it?”

“Yeah.”

“H-how was it? I executed it properly!”

“Yup, you did your best.”

Looking at Aika who was stuttering on her words, she spat out her next line with a lot of effort.

“T-then, what’s next!?”

“…………”

I raised my head to look at the sky.

Evening was approaching as the setting sun coloured the sky yellow with it’s warm rays.

Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath.

——Ah……it was a perfect time-killer.

“Aika”

I gave her a smile one would give to his comrade in arms.

“Everything I said before was nothing but a lie. I am terribly sorry.”

What came next was a round of beating.

The next day during homeroom, we received a notice about kindergarteners spotting ‘a suspicious Onee-san’ and we were warned to ‘watch how we act’.

TLN: Finally done with this chapter. Seriously though, I need another active editor. Rockgollem and Ruzenor are riajuus and busy with real life…*cries*
